Kermit Jones Jr.

Kermit Jones, Jr. came across the idea of a prepper book for kids when trying to decide how to explain the topic to his four young daughters. Having attended high school in a rural part of Virginia, he later went on to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. After several years as a Surface Warfare Officer, he resigned his commission and entered the Chaplain Corps where he continues to serve his country as a Chaplain in the U.S. Navy Reserves. A Navy Reservist, he was recalled to Active Duty for two separate tours, resulting in a pause in a his Prepper Pete adventures. He's back now, with a new drive to help better prepare kids by equipping them with critical thinking, preparedness skills, and a safety mindset! In addition to writing children’s books, he instructs on topics of leadership, personal and emergency preparedness, self-reliance, and safety, and he has been a guest on several radio and talk show broadcasts. His gun safety book, “Prepper Pete’s Gun of a Son,” has taken the number one spot on Kindle for the “Children’s non-fiction” category. Between kids and his (multiple) careers, he has learned that it is important to “be prepared!”
